As a matter of f?ct no one can tell how great the German subsidy Is for they naturally would not disclose their secrets to us. We do know, however, that the German Government owns its own ship yards, and constructs vessels for its merchant marine at exactly cost. In addition to this the government owns the rail waysand transports all material used in ship building free of co^. If this is not subsidy with a vengence I am at a loss to understand the term. You notice by the following tables that the stockholders of the North German Lloyds were content to run at a loss to give cheap freights and develop new markets. This probably accounts for Germany monopolizing the South American markets which under normal conditions belong to us. The German Bundesratb In 1898 prepared an official report to accompany a bill which parfpa idbi;uuuy huu wmp iucu buuiuhku iu the Reichstag, aud in which appears the following table showing loss suffered by the Norm German Lloyd without the subsidy, and the Ions and the gain of the company with the sudslty.

The English subsidies are all mall contracts but they are not based upon actual value of carrying mails, and foreign lines are Dot allowed to compete. Her policy is to grant subsidies to lines which will not pay, but the Cunird line Is a notable exception. Tb? Frenoh give a dlreotsubsldy (see table.) T t o I iu n duKdIHv An mollo nnHor t ho nnn. tract system has not proven a success. I am told it is beoause the subsidy bas not been , paid promptly, and 1h burdened wltb onerous i exactions with regard to tbe Navy. You will note that the entire amount paid by foreign , countries is nearly twenty-six million dollars. John Lowndes McLaurln. THE CAPTIVE MISSIONARY. i !

Oct. 7.?With over thirty thousand ' dollars already in tbelr bands and thegreater part of the country yet to be heard from the American Board of Foreign Missions are hopeful that the funds for the ransom of Miss Stone will be received in time to Bave ' the captive missionary's life. The time Is I short, however, and much anxiety Is felt. An appeal for an ex'enslon of the time fixed by tbe brigands may be made. Nearly sixty-five thousand dollars bas been raised by to-ulght to ransome Miss Stone ' from Hungarian brigands. The money Is I pouring in and there Is little doubt but tbat tbe rest of the hundred and ten thousand * dollars demanded will be raised in time to save Miss Stone. Cleveland, Oct.|7,?Z.
